Overzealous Diamondbacks fan forces umpire review for fourth straight season
NY Post
One Diamondbacks fan just can’t stop wreaking havoc from the outfield stands at Chase Field.
The same fan has been involved in umpire reviews in four straight seasons, Jomboy Media found, each time after reaching over the fence from his seats in left-center field to grab a potential home run.
The most recent incident, during the Diamondbacks’ 4-2 win over the Giants on Monday night, was the most egregious of all.
San Francisco outfielder Christian Koss launched a fly ball deep into left-center in the eighth inning while trailing 3-2, and as Arizona outfielder Tim Tawa leaped up in an effort to make a catch at the wall, the fan stuck his glove over the fence and snatched the ball.
The play was ruled an out for fan interference at first, but it was ultimately deemed that the fan did not interfere with Tawa, who was not in a position to make the catch.
Koss ended up with a double, but the fan was ejected from the ballpark nonetheless.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
